CANTERBURY, England (CMC) — Jermaine Blackwood continued to press his case for a return to the Test side with another half-century, while Shai Hope was again among the runs as West Indies rallied against Kent on the opening day of their three-day tour game here yesterday.

Opting to bat first at Kent County ground, the Windies fought back from a position of 78 for four to be bowled out for 265 in their first innings late in the day.
